Steward Qian got up early, and his wife got up earlier than him.
Lifting the quilt and sitting up, he stretched first, today is an important day.
Steward Qian is going to be renamed Steward Li today, when the head of the family was still surnamed Zhang, he entered the Zhang family, and soon changed his surname to Zhang, but later Xiangguo was given the surname Li, but he did not have the qualifications to follow the surname Li, but changed back to the surname Qian.
But in the past few years, he has also been conscientious and meritorious in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
A few days ago, Mrs. said that he would be surnamed Li from now on.
The housekeeper doesn't know how excited he is, and follows the surname of the head of the family, which is the greatest glory of the housekeeper, not to mention, this is still a royal surname.
The housekeeper picked out his favorite set of clothes from the kitchen, which was the clothing given by Xiangguo himself, and it was also a royal reward for the palace, although it was not the kind of thing that needed to be offered, but it was also quite precious.
His wife and daughter helped him sew it by hand, and he rarely wore it in normal times, so he wore it during the New Year's holidays.
Today is an important day, and he finds his clothes to put on.
Today is not only a good day for him to change his surname to Li, but also a big day for Li Xiangguo's mansion.
The will of the palace has come down, and the fief of Xiangye has increased again, increasing by two hundred li, although the new territory of two hundred li is on the old general and several young grandfathers, but in any case, the Li family is now the first nobleman in the imperial court to have a real fiefdom, and there are five hundred li of fiefdom.
Put on new clothes and new boots and walked out of his small courtyard, and met the people in the house along the way, all of them were beaming.
When there is a happy event at home, the wives are happy, so they all give the reward money below, and when they take the reward, they are of course happy.
Hall.
Mrs.
Cui looked at the account book, her belly was quite big, and she was about to give birth, and Xiangguo had not returned home, but because it was the second child, Mrs. was not as nervous as the original first child, and she could occasionally flip through the number of accounts in the ledger.
"Butler, are you ready?"
asked Cui Yingying.
The housekeeper smiled, "Madam, it's ready, we have already ordered it a few days ago, and the various stewards outside have already been busy." ” "That's good."
Cui Yingying put down the account book in her hand, the Li family is now a big business, but all the Zhuangzi shops outside the home have a complete set of account books and forms designed by her husband himself, the accountant is in charge of the cashier, and the stewards are in charge, plus the accounts at home regularly check and reconcile, so this aspect is quite clear, the account books that Cui Yingying looks at are all general ledgers, and every stroke is clear.
At the end of the year, the general ledger of the year is about to be summarized, last year, although the north is still very bad, but the business of the Li family is not affected much, especially the Li family last year focused on the development of foreign trade, the harvest is quite rich, the Maritime Silk Road, and the Southwest Silk Road, and the Silk Road of the Western Regions, these three foreign trade routes, the Li family is the focus of development and participation in the leader, in this, made a lot of money.
In addition, the trade commodity processing industry, sugar, tea, wine, paper and books are also very profitable.
In addition, the Li family also makes a lot of money from minerals, raw silk, porcelain and other things, not to mention that the Li family also has a very profitable money village pawnshop.
A lot of money was made, but the year before last and last year, Li Ji's money bank lent a lot of money to the imperial court, and in addition, the Li family's various industries also bought a lot of imperial court bonds, which took up a lot of funds.
After receiving the latest letter from her husband, Cui Yingying has begun to withdraw funds from various industries in the family.
The imperial court has decided to divide the princes, and the fief of the Li family has finally been obtained, and the Turks and the Tang Dynasty have negotiated peace, in principle, with Yinshan as the boundary, but in fact, on the peace proposal, the entire Yinshan Mountain Range is actually drawn within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the border of the Tang Dynasty actually includes the entire Yinshan Mountain Range and even many places at the foot of the northern mountain.
This naturally includes Li Chao's Shanbei territory.
The fief was no longer in the hands of the Turks, and the imperial court had officially established the feudal system, so the Li family naturally began to build their own fief.
Unlike in the past, the land was divided, but this time it was a direct domain.
Although this territory was no more powerful than the county state of the Han Dynasty, and many powers were castrated and restricted, it was also a fiefdom.
Just like taxes, although the imperial court had to account for two-thirds, the princes had only one-third.
However, whether it is a positive tax, two taxes and commercial taxes, the princes can account for one-third, and there is no upper limit to this, and the number of taxes that can be collected in the territory can get one-third of them, so the more the territory develops, the more taxes the princes have.
The benefits that the princes could enjoy were very promising, provided that the territory could develop.
The Li family has many industries and strong strength, but after all, the Duke of Zhao has nothing now, and he has to build it from scratch, and the next step of the Li family is to draw funds from various industries, and even mobilize manpower to build the Duke of Zhao and several other territories of the Li family.
The husband is still in Zhao Guo and has not returned, and the family is still presided over by Cui Yingying.
Cui Yingying held her stomach with her hand, the due date was approaching, and she hoped that her husband would be able to come back soon.
Fortunately, her husband repelled the Turks soon after he went north, and if she was delayed for a long time, she thought that she would have to give birth at home alone.
Maybe it's because of the birth of a second child, this pregnancy, she didn't love so much during this pregnancy, she was able to eat and drink everything went well, which was a good thing, but it also made her a lot plump, not only her breasts were much bigger, but even her waist was thick, and her legs were thick, she was a little worried, and when her husband came back, he would not like it when he saw her like this.
She knows her husband's hobbies, she likes the kind of tall, too thin and doesn't like fat, she used to have a good figure, but now she is a lot fatter, and she doesn't know if she can lose weight after giving birth.
"Butler, then you will be in charge of this recruitment."
"Please rest assured, Madame, I have discussed with several other housekeepers, and I have selected a number of housekeepers from all over the house, and formed a recruitment jury composed of thirteen internal and external housekeepers.
It will be recruited and selected in strict accordance with the requirements of the lady.
"The steward, as always, is conscientious and loyal.
Cui Yingying nodded, with a smile on her slightly rich face.
"I believe in the steward's ability, and I'll leave this matter to you.

The recruitment and selection is to build our fiefdom of the Li family, so what we need is hardworking, honest, loyal and reliable people.
There is another point, which is also explained by Xiangye himself, we recruit people, regardless of background, regardless of identity, only choose loyal and honest, talented people, whether he is born as a slave or from a barbarian Rongdi, it doesn't matter. ” The butler nodded in response, keeping both points in mind. t1706231537:
